Celebrate your parent’s life story by capturing it in a beautiful book for the entire family to cherish.
"Creating a book for/about my father was a lifelong wish but nothing I could have done on my own. Having a dedicated interviewer allowed for my dad's many stories to take shape into a fascinating, often funny, and very poignant narrative."
"My mom spoke to her birth mother for the first time in 30 years because of No Story Lost. My parents are getting old and it's nice to know that some of their stories will be saved for future generations."
"No Story Lost was a gift to me from my daughter. It was fun reminiscing about so many adventures and family memories, many of which I’d kind of forgotten about."
You share the printable gift card with your parent telling them about how their stories will be safe forever.
Our team of professionals manage the process end-to-end, incorporating family quotes and photos.
In as little as 8 weeks, you’ll receive a beautiful coffee table book on your doorstep.
Your family will be so happy that they could cry happy tears.
If not, we'll make it right or refund your money.
Hello!
Our Co-Founders, Andrew and Jeremy, are cousins. A few years ago Andrew and Jeremy realized that their parents and grandparents weren’t going to be around forever, and they wanted to write down their stories, memories & advice.
They knew they had something special on their hands when they printed beautiful coffee-table books for their own families. Though most families had the thought of doing this, they realized that almost nobody took the time to actually sit down and do it. Once it’s done, it’s amazing to have… and it was a lot of work to do it alone!
They lead our team of people who are passionate about capturing families’ stories, memories and advice.
We've assembled an incredibly talented team of interviewers, transcriptionists, writers and designers to make beautiful books filled with your own loved ones’ stories, memories and advice.
Each of our project packages includes one Premium Book.
Extra copies of our Premium hardcover books cost $100 USD each, and our Basic books cost $50 USD. You can make the decisions regarding how many books to order once your project is done.
This video explains the difference between our two book styles.
Our process if flexible and you can be as involved or hands-off as you wish! With that said, there are three things we ask from all clients to ensure the project is a success:
→ A quick Welcome Call with our Project Coordinator to discuss how we can make your project perfect.
→ You’ll have a chance to approve the written content and design before we go to print. This is a great time to check things like names and dates. You can also suggest any edits or changes you’d like to see.
→ Photos! We’ll have you supply us with digital copies of old family photos to go into your book.
If you’d like to get more involved there are a few ways we can make that happen:
→ you can join your parent or loved one to listen in on their interviews.
→ you can make more detailed edits to the writing before it goes to print
→ you can contribute extra written content or even do an interview yourself for the project.
Yep, we get it! One of our first clients was our friend, Stef.
Her Dad said he didn’t want to do it. Full stop. Talk to someone he didn’t know about his life? No thank you.
But she told him he’d be doing it for Stef and for his future grandkids. That sure got him. He changed his tune pretty quickly! Her dad ended up loving the interviews and now couldn’t have been happier with his book :)
Parents and grandparents often need to hear how meaningful this book will be for their kids and grandkids (and future generations). Let us know if you’d like more advice - we're happy to chat (you can use the chat button in the bottom right of this screen, or email us at hello@nostorylost.com)
